as i understand it, it is determined by BCS rankings if LSU, Arkansa, and Alabama end up in a three-way tie - stuffed pixie Nov 25, 09:34 6
- LSU has to lose and Alabam has to win. Then, Alabama will have beaten Arkansas who will have beaten LSU who will have beaten Alabama. -- nm - David Nov 25, 09:45 5
  - but things get fubared if LSU and Bama lose -- nm - stuffed pixie Nov 25, 09:50 4
    - No, because then LSU and Arkansas would likely finish 1/2 in the BCS. - David Nov 25, 09:56 3
      - And even if LSU loses, voters should probably not drop them very far...it's very argualbe they've got the best resume of the 1-loss teams - Will Hunting Nov 25, 10:17 1
        
        Right. A 1.000 score on the BCS reflects this. -- nm - David Nov 25, 10:24
      - ...and Virginia Tech loses to Clemson, and Oklahoma State loses to Oklahoma.... Boise St vs. Houston! -- nm - Dano Nov 25, 10:04
